Letting the days go by

Today a third grader told me what college he was going to go to. He'd investigated several, he told me (and named them), but finally decided on one with an emphasis on performing arts.

He was Daddy Warbucks in Prestigious' production of "Annie."

It's nice to have a life plan.

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself....Well, how did I get here?

And you may ask yourself: How do I work this? And you may ask yourself: Where is that large automobile? And you may tell yourself: This is not my beautiful house! And you may tell yourself: This is not my beautiful wife! And you may tell yourself: MY GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE??

Seriously, though, good luck, kid. It's a tough field, and anyway your father's probably going to make you go to law school.
